I love ToO because of the smaller teams and the tighter communication.
Iron Banner has always been something I forced myself through, just to get the gear rewards. And it seems like every month, Iron Banner lag gets worse and worse. Last month, at least twice a day, I and everyone in my friend list, simultaneously experienced Xbox live downage for 10 minutes at a time.
With TTK releasing soon, and all pre-TTK legendary gear being stuck at Year One levels, I'm not even seeing a point to playing Iron Banner this time around. I don't see the worth in subjecting myself to the lagfest that Iron Banner has slowly turned into.
Do any of you plan to still play? Why? Do you think there's a chance they might make this next IB's gear be TTK gear?
Edit: I decided I'm still gonna play for the rewards because Bungie can never make up their mind about these things. There's gonna be enough vault space to justify holding on to gear with hopes that they may change their minds.

For fun

The Iron Banner is filled with tryhards. I'll just stick to good old trials.

Do you enjoy playing? If no then don't play If yes then play
-
I played last night and pleasingly there was zero lag Got all my bounties done fairly quickly
-
Interesting to see what the perks will be on Yr1 Iron Banner cloaks, marks and bonds in Yr2
-
Its like mowing your lawn, you can't say you're not going to do it because it's just going to get long again, you do it to experience your nice lawn right now. Playing to get gear that is usual currently in the game is all about the experience and having it while it's relevent.

It's fun...or at least more so than regular Crucible.
-
Lagfest as always
-
It seems pointless when bungie has yet to speak of etheric lights relevance in year 2.If people would ask good questions instead of worrying about -blam!-ing vault space we would know...
-
Last chance to spit hatred at the current meta in an even more unbalanced environment?
-
Iron Banner for the giggles
-
Felwinters needed
-
Apparently the emblems will be new ones in TTK, so if you want to be a collector or emblems then get them now.
-
Rep glitch
-
For that Felwinters
-
Im am a beast at crucible!?! I'm looking for two dominant crucible guardians to dominate the zones with in Iron banner. I will also be streaming at www.twitch.tv/miccheck121 so hit me up in chat for an inv.we have good laughs and fun.if you like the stream hit that favorite button

Hey guys I thought you all would like to see my montage from the beta. Check it out also it's not a reuploaded gameplay
-
Only reason I can think of is so next IB you could (doing the glitch) instantly have TTK legengaries when IB drops
-
I've played every iron banner since January and although it gets a grind towards the end of the week I generally love it but this time just seems pointless. We know that all gear and even etheric light will be obsolete in a couple weeks. If they'd just brought the weapons patch in it would have been really fun. I can't understand why they didn't. Now even when the patch comes it won't be balanced as there will be huge differences in light level between players
-
If you don't plan on playing ttk then yeah. Year 1 weapons will perform as they always have in year 1 activities.
-
I want felwinters, greaves and silimars wrath
-
For fun? Maybe? Aren't games supposed to be fun?
-
Ethric light to upgrade your 28 for taken king
-
Nope. Personally, I'll be helping my friend lvl up who just started playing

Edited by Luckdog26: 8/25/2015 11:27:04 PMDepends if the next Iron Banner is before or after TTK drops. If it is after, then there is obviously all the reasons in the world to play it, as the new Iron Banner armor and weapons all look awesome. :EDIT and by 'next' iron banner, I presume you meant the one after this one? How about just play for fun?
